Live recordings from 2006. "Founded in 2001 by drummer and composer Gregg Bendian, The Mahavishnu Project has been dedicated to reviving and bringing to today's audiences the excitement and the transcendent experience of visceral intensity of the early days of jazz/rock in general and the music of The Mahavishnu Orchestra specifically. The band was formed by Gregg specifically to perpetuate the spirit of live performance in which this music was created by performing this great music live! Return to the Emerald Beyond features an 11-piece band interpreting The Mahavishnu Orchestra's Visions of the Emerald Beyond, one of the most explosive albums in the fusion genre."
